About This Dataset

Electricity Demand Per Person by Country 2024

Electricity demand per person in 2024, in megawatt-hours, as measured by Ember. One MWh is 1,000 kilowatt-hours. Covers countries that generated at least 10 TWh of electricity in the year, so very small island grids do not dominate the ranking.

Analysis

Iceland heads the table on 48.4, ahead of Norway (24.9) and Bahrain (23.9) in Electricity Demand Per Capita (MWh) in 2024. 37.9 separates the highest figure (48.4) from the lowest (10.5). Most of that gap is between first and second alone (23.5 of 37.9); the other 14 are separated by just 14.4. Places 3 to 15 are close together, spanning 23.9 to 10.5.
